Course Overview
Most procurement disputes about returns acceptance policy originate in a specification written too quickly. Savings claimed on this area of procurement and supply operations at signature are frequently lost during execution. The difficulty is not agreeing that the procurement and supply operations discipline matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants test their assumptions about returns acceptance policy against scenarios designed to break weak ones. They acquire practical criteria for judging when this strand of procurement and supply operations is working and when it is only appearing to. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the procurement and supply operations capability, not for observers of it. Mature organisations treat returns acceptance policy as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the wider procurement and supply operations agenda and the judgement to adapt it. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the procurement and supply operations discipline ready to put in front of a decision maker.
